NUAPADA:
The CBI probing the chit fund scam in the State visited the Nuapada police
station on Saturday to investigate the alleged fraudulent collection of
deposits by the Rose Valley Corporation, one of the 44 ponzi firm probed by the
Central investigating agency.
A
two-member team interrogated some police officers, who had raided the offices
of the company and had seized documents following complaints against it. The
team minutely went through the documents seized during the raids on the Kolkata
headquartered company in 2013-14.
Notably,
the company had allegedly duped depositors of around Rs 15 lakh in Nuapada
area. The CBI team reportedly sought information on the case from the
investigating officer.
The
company has its wide presence not only in Odisha but also in West Bengal,
Tripura, Assam, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and other States. It was alleged that the
company have collected around Rs 24,000 crore from its investors.
The
firm came into the limelight following the Saradha scam, which broke in early
2013. The Corporate Affairs Ministry had named the Rose Valley as one of the 73
companies involved in ponzi schemes in West Bengal the same year.
